"the Love that heals" "Breaking Free" "Who will heal the world? 'Here am I; send me'" (Isa. 6:8)
These are the themes of the last three Regional Meetings for youth and young adults in 1992. We asked the local Christian Scientists who are planning these meetings for those of all faiths, aged twelve to thirty, to give Journal readers a preview of what's in store. This is what they have to say to you:
Rocky Mountain Regional Youth Meetings (A Z, CO, NM, UT, WY)

Answers that work—that have been carefully etched out and proved in the daily lives of spiritual thinkers and doers. Answers that heal—that dissolve fear, prejudice, indifference, and ignorance through a spiritual understanding of God. Solid answers that bring permanent peace, health, and progress to individual lives and the world. Come! Discover the power of God, divine Love, the Love that heals!" ...
